THE WARNINGS

[Gil Jesus]

How did all of these people know Lee Harvey Oswald was going to kill Kennedy ?

 

The Fulbright warning
 

Senators were prominent among those who urged Kennedy not to go to Dallas. In October 1963, J.William Fulbright (D-Ark) made it plain that Kennedy should go nowhere near the city, especially after the Dallas Morning News had attacked the president rather fiercely in an editorial for his insufficient opposition to communist aggression. The editorial's vehemence reflected the depths of loathing Kennedy could expect there. "Dallas is a dangerous place", he told Kennedy, "I wouldn't go there. Don't YOU go there". 
Seven weeks earlier, Fulbright had virtually pleaded with the president to skip Dallas, saying that any political gain was not worth the risk.
Senator Fulbright was never called to give testimony to the Warren Commission.

 

The Connally warning
 

Even Governor Connally tried to talk the President out of a stop in Dallas, saying that the people might be "too emotional".
Governor Connally was never asked about this during his testimony.

 

The Skelton warning
 

On November 4th, Robert Kennedy received a letter from Byron Skelton, a Democratic Committeeman from Texas, asking that Dallas be dropped from the President's itinerary because "they" would kill him there.  Observing the attitude in preparations for the President's trip, he simply felt that it was not safe to go there. Skelton felt so passionately about bypassing Dallas that he flew to Washington to plead his case.
Mr. Skelton was never called to give testimony to the Warren Commission.

 

Two U.S. Army cryptographic code operators who claimed to have intercepted coded messages about the JFK assassination plan were thrown into mental institutions after attempting to report it.
 

The Dinkin warning
 

Private First Class Eugene Dinkin was a cryptographic code operator stationed in Metz, France. On November 4, 1963 he went AWOL from his unit and two days later he appeared in the Press Room of the United Nations in Geneva and told reporters that "they" were plotting against President Kennedy and that "something" would happen in Dallas. 
Private Dinkin had a friend mail a letter to Robert Kennedy. The letter warned RFK that an assassination plot was underway and would occur in Texas around Nov. 28, 1963. Dinkin said that the plan was that the murder would be blamed on either a communist or a negro.
His allegation reached the White House on November 29 and went to the Warren Commission in April of 1964.
The Warren Commission took no interest in the matter and omitted any mention of Dinkin from its 26 volumes of evidence.
Dinkin was not called to testify for the Warren Commission.

 

The Christensen warning
 

David Christensen was an Air Force sergeant who was stationed at an RAF base in Kirknewton, Scotland. The base had a relationship with the CIA and was used by the CIA as a top-secret listening station. Completely separate from Dinkin and around the same time, he intercepted a communication in late October 1963 that an assassination attempt would be made on Kennedy. 
Sgt. Christensen, like Private Dinkin, was summarily “committed to a mental institution.” 
 

A rambling letter Christensen wrote  mentions the JFK assassination link he received “six weeks to one month” before the big event. He goes on to name two men ( Forney and Delaughter ) as being instrumental in blocking him from getting the intel to NSA.
 

An interview was conducted in 1978 by two staffers ( Kenneth Klein and Gary Cornwell ) of the House Select Committee on Assassinations. But this interview was with a Sgt. Stevenson, who was stationed with Christensen, not the source himself. Stevenson discounted the Christensen story. 
 

The HSCA knew about Christensen’s claims but never questioned him personally.
 

These two warnings are summed up best by Dr. Jerry Kroth, Associate Professor Emeritus, Santa Clara ( Cal. ) University:
"Two code operators, in secret American military installations, quite independently of each other—and both obviously with clearances—discovered chatter, decidedly secret chatter, about the coming assassination of the President of the United States. If taken seriously, it meant a deep conspiracy was afoot involving high level government and military plotters, not little Lee Harvey who was sorting textbooks in the Texas School Book Depository for $1.25 an hour." 
 

Finally, there is one problem for the naysayers: to explain what type of mental illness allows its victim to predict in advance and with any degree of certainty, the time and place where an attempt to assassinate the President of the United States will take place.

 

The Miami warning
 

On November 9, 1963, Miami Police informant Willie Somerset recorded a breakfast meeting with his friend Joseph Milteer, who outlined the assassination of President Kennedy. Milteer was taped by Somerset as he spoke of Kennedy's coming visit to Miami on November 18th:
 

Somerset: "Well, how in the hell do you figure would be the best way to get him?"
Milteer: "From an office building with a high-powered rifle."
Somerset: "Boy if that Kennedy gets shot, we have to know where we are at. Because you know that will be a real shake.."
Milteer: (An investigation) would leave no stone unturned there, no way. They will pick up somebody within hours afterward....just to throw the public off."
Somerset asked when such an assassination would take place, to which Milteer replied:
"It's in the works....there ain't any countdown to it. We have just got to be sitting on go. Countdown, they can move in on you, and on go they can't. Countdown is alright for a slow, prepared operation. But in an emergency situation, you have got to be sitting on go."
 

Captain Charles Sapp of the Miami Police Intelligence Bureau was concerned with Milteer's remark about the President's assassination being "in the works" to mean that it may take place at a future time and place. 
So he notified both the FBI and the Secret Service of the threat. Miami Police provided both agencies with copies of the taped conversation two weeks before the assassination.
 

Despite the fact that this threat was perceived as significant, both the Miami FBI and Secret Service failed to pass the information on to those responsible for the President's Dallas trip.
 

In a subsequent meeting following the assassination, Somerset commented that Milteer was a pretty good guesser, to which Milteer replied, "I don't do any guessing".
Milteer also commented that he was in Dallas that day.
 

The FBI interviewed Milteer after the assassination and he denied making the remarks. He also denied being in Dallas on November 22nd. 
Although they had him on tape, they dropped the issue, saying that Milteer was someplace other than Dallas on November 22nd.
 

Sapp, Somerset and Milteer were never called to give testimony to the Warren Commission.

 

The Mexican warning
 

On November 14th, an "unnamed subject" who had been arrested in Piedras Negras, Mexico on September 30th for stealing three cars, told the FBI "that he is a member of the Ku Klux Klan and that his sources have told him that a militant group of the National States Rights Party plans to assassinate the president and other high-level officials. He stated that he does not believe that this is planned for the near future, but he does believe the attempt will be made ." 
The Secret Service was advised "telephonically" by the FBI of the above information the following day, but according to the Secret Service report, the FBI's Washington D.C. headquarters downplayed the information saying that "the subject was attempting to make a deal with them" on the car theft charges he faced and that "no information was developed that would indicate any danger to the President...during his trip to Dallas".
Hoover was downplaying the threat to assure the Secret Service that no additional steps were needed to protect the President in Dallas. 
Two days later, Oswald walked into the FBI office in Dallas and left a note for Hosty, the contents of which were in dispute by people who allegedly read it. 

 

The William Walter telex
 

Several hours after Oswald left the "Hosty note", Hoover sent out a teletype to all FBI offices notifying them that "information has been received by the bureau that a militant revolutionary group may attempt to assassinate President Kennedy on his proposed trip to Dallas November 22-23 1963. All receiving offices should immmediately contact all CIs (Criminal Informants), PCIs (Potential Criminal Informants), logical Race and Hate groups (KKK, NSRP, Nazis) and determine if any basis for threats. Bureau should be kept advised of all developements by teletype." 
 

In other words, no written reports: notify the Bureau by teletype. If the information was found to be true, it would end up in the hands of Hoover, who would make sure that the Secret Service would not be warned.
 

William Walter was never called to give testimony to the Warren Commission.

 

The Rose Cheramie warning
 

In the early morning hours of November 20, 1963, a drug addict and prostitute named Rose Cheramie was found lying on the side of the road near Eunice, Louisiana. She had been thrown from a moving car.
 

 

 

Battered and bruised and in a state of near hysteria, she was transported to Louisiana State Hospital in Jackson. She appeared to be under the influence of some drug. State Police Lieutenant Francis Fruge, who investigated the incident, asked her what had happened. She told him that she had been travelling from Florida to Dallas with two Latin men. When he asked her what they were going to do in Dallas, she replied, "pick up some money, pick up my baby and ....kill Kennedy."
 

At the State Hospital, she repeated her claim to the doctors several times, saying that the President would be murdered in two days and said that she got her information from "word in the underworld". But because of her emotional state at the time, she was thought to be in a drug-induced delirium and her story was not believed.
 

Fruge, Cheramie and the doctors she spoke to were never called to give testimony to the Warren Commission.

 

The Stevenson warning
 

Adlai Stevenson had urged a fundamental reconsideration of the trip after right-wing extremists spat on him and struck him with a sign on October 24th in Dallas. This was the second embarrassing attack on a politician from the extremists in Dallas. 
Lyndon Johnson and his wife were attacked by a mob of Nixon supporters in 1960, not the least of which was Congressman Bruce Alger, the only Republican congressman from Texas, who held a sign that said, "LBJ sold out to to the Yankee Socialists". 
Ambassador Stevenson was never called to give testimony to the Warren Commission.

 

The Marcus warning
 

Stanley Marcus, head of the well-known Neiman Marcus retail company, pleaded with Kennedy not to come to Dallas. Marcus was with Stevenson when the U.N. ambassador was attacked in October.
After Marcus shoved Stevenson into the back seat of the car, the mob started rocking the car side to side. The driver gunned it and almost killed someone in an attempt to get away. 
Stanley Marcus was never called to give testimony to the Warren Commission.

 

The Brinkley warning
 

Private citizens echoed these warnings throughout October and November.
Anne Brinkley, wife of newscaster David Brinkley, delivered her warning the evening before the trip to Texas.
Anne Brinkley, wife of NBC News Anchor David Brinkley, wrote to Kennedy's Press Secretary Pierre Salinger, "Don't let him come down here...I think something terrible is going to happen to him ".
 

 

 

Ann Brinkley was never called to give testimony to the Warren Commission.

According to author Gus Russo, about 25,000 threats were reportedly logged during Kennedy's 34 months in office. Most of them made by crackpots, but some by potentially real assassins. In 1976, the Secret Service released a report indicating that its "Security Index" listed one million people as potential threats to President Kennedy at the time of his death.
 

Lee Harvey Oswald was not listed as one of them.
 

 

[David Andrews]

Putting it in juxtaposition this way. it makes one wonder where the Minutemen-States Rights "on go" people were on November 22.  Not shooting, I don't think, but in the neighborhood?

[Joe Bauer]

Did you recount this from a book Gil?

A question.

When the FBI interrogated Joseph Milteer after JFK's murder,

did they play back his JFK death predictions made to Sommerset in the Miami hotel tape?

Among many questions I would have asked Milteer was how his predictive description of JFK's murder was exactly the way JFK was killed?

My guess is Milteer would have sat there completely silent.

The Miami PD cancelled a JFK motorcade due to that Milteer tape.

Now there was a responsible and uncorrupted police force regards JFK's security.

The FBI knew of the Milteer threat...did they ever share this with the Dallas PD?

If so, it wasn't enough for the Dallas PD or the SS to cancel the Dallas  motorcade?

Clint Hill repeated time and time again, in response to constant questions from his talk appearance audiences why the higher floor windows along the Dallas motorcade route weren't checked while JFK was passing beneath them, that his agency simply didn't have the manpower to check every upper floor open windows along the route.

Knowing this security manpower deficiency, and right after the Miami trip and Milteer's threat tape, they nor any other JFK security tasked police agency didn't think of placing even just one or two men on both sides of each block of the parade route street during the high rise part of it?

Men with binoculars and walkie talkies who would focus every second on these high rise open windows while JFK was being driven underneath?

If they had just one or two of these binocular equipped high rise open window monitoring men in Dealey Plaza they for sure would have seen what non-binocular equipped Arnold Rowland and Carolyn Walthers saw in those upper floor TXSBD windows just before or even during JFK'S  one to two minute drive by underneath. A man or men holding high power rifles just inside these.

Since JFK's murder took place because of this one main security lapse...you'd think Hill would at least add a greatest regret caveat in his SS non-open window monitoring defense excuse that it was the SS's biggest mistake in their worst case scenario failed protection of our president?

Quiz Time - Why were so many people threats to President Kennedy?

[Guest]

Top thread again, Gil. Thanks for all of your hard work. 

[Ron Bulman]

I've never seen a list of these threats put together anywhere.  Thank you.  I think this one might qualify for adding to your list as the source is somewhat personal, Evelyn Lincoln, JFK's long time loyal personal secretary.

In a letter to Robert White received by author Christpher Fulton 6/5/1992 she says:

"On November 20 1963, my husband, Harold Lincoln, overheard a conversation in a bar in Washington, D.C.  Secret Service agents in Vice President Johnson's detail were discussing President Kennedy being shot At (my emphasis, a security "Test"?) in Dallas, Texas.  I was shaken, and I pleaded with the president not to go, but he was fearless."

No they didn't.

Q: The FBI knew of the Milteer threat...did they ever share this with the Dallas PD?

No they didn't. The Secret Service knew about it. In fact one of the agents involved in the securty of the Miami trip named David Grant was also involved in the Dallas trip.

So why didn't they cancel the motorcade and helicopter him in to the Trade Mart ?

Why did they strip away his protection and make last minute changes to the motorcade at Love Field, like moving the press back as well as taking the General out of the front seat ?

I suggest that these last minute changes are evidence that the SS knew where the shooters would be located and from which direction the shots would be fired from.

So they moved people out of the line of fire.

The SS planners  knew the danger involved. They were putting him out there with little protection knowing someone would be shooting and hoping someone would kill him.

And they did everything they could to make it easier, including slowing the car down when the shooting started.

Q: Knowing this security manpower deficiency, and right after the Miami trip and Milteer's threat tape, they nor any other JFK security tasked police agency didn't think of placing even just one or two men on both sides of each block of the parade route street during the high rise part of it?

Q: Men with binoculars and walkie talkies who would focus every second on these high rise open windows while JFK was being driven underneath?

Q: Since JFK's murder took place because of this one main security lapse...you'd think Hill would at least add a greatest regret caveat in his SS non-open window monitoring defense excuse that it was the SS's biggest mistake in their worst case scenario failed protection of our president?

They should have cancelled the motorcade all together.

Also, there was a "Wanted for Treason" ad printed in the Dallas newspaper(s) before JFK appeared in Dallas.  I am not sure who paid for those ad(s). HL Hunt?
